September 26, 2008 - With the recent release of Kirby Super Star Ultra on Nintendo DS, we thought we'd take a look back at Nintendo's roster of Kirby games to see how they were received by both critics and consumers. This pink puff ball was late to the NES party when Kirby's Adventure arrived back in 1993 (which was even a year after his Game Boy debut). Gamers who had moved on to the Super Nintendo or SEGA Genesis missed out on an excellent platformer that felt like the natural extension of what Nintendo had perfected with the Super Mario Bros. series.

February 20, 2007 - Kirby's Adventure is one of the best games to ever come from the NES. It helps that it was also one of the last -- Nintendo's 8-bit console had been on the market for nearly eight years already when the game debuted in stores, and the arrival of new releases had begun to slow down considerably. Those games that were still making it out the door benefited from the longevity of the system, as by 1993 the game programmers of the world had learned how to unleash every last ounce of power hidden inside the original Nintendo system. Kirby's Adventure was one of those late-generation games, and probably the best of them. Every programming trick and visual technique in the book was used here, and the result was fantastic. An 8-bit platformer that transcends its humble hardware, Kirby's Adventure is a journey you don't want to miss.
